Katahdin Late July? Any tips?
Hello everyone,
I know many have made similar posts but I’m in the same situation. I want to hike Katahdin this July between mid to late but I didn’t make a reservation online. I’m an out of stater and was navigating the website but was confused how it says non resident pass but no date, do I have to buy first then see if anything available?
Also yes I know I am very late to reserving but I want to know if anyone has any tips on how I can go about getting access to Baxter State Park. Is there anyway to still make any reservations? I know they have entry for some of reserved spots don’t show up but how does it work and what’s my best bet, a weekday? Is a weekend impossible?
I don’t need a place to sleep in the park or anything just access for a day to hike Katahdin.
Also if I do show up but Katahdin is not available would I be turned away completely from the park or redirected to a different area and if so what should I do so it’s not a waste waking up early and waiting in line.
I have a lot of questions but if anyone has any information on anything that would be great
Thank You.
